Booker's Place: A Mississippi Story

While filming a documentary on racism in Mississippi in 1965 Frank de Felitta forever changed the life of an African-American waiter and his family. More than 40 years later Frank's son Raymond (director of City Island) returns to the site of his father's film to examine the repercussions of their fateful encounter. This intensely personal film about the struggle to understand one's parents is also a heartbreaking portrait of the legacy of intolerance.
